why? do u think athletes dont know what their occupational hazards are? dont u think they would have at least made 1 or 2 friends or came into contact with a professional health worker at some point in their career that would tell them about it even if they didnt take the time to find out on their own? people die and get crippled working in regular jobs all the time. and frankly beating the poo poo out of eachother for a living is safer and easier on your body than a lot of them. i agree with the sentiment that there should be more done to educate and protect athletes though

I certainly don't think I'm more aware of the risks than the athletes, with exceptions for your Paul Harrises. Still when I watch someone get hurt real bad it makes me wonder what I get out of it and if my sister isn't right to be repulsed by the whole thing. I keep watching tho.

I am learning a lot about american politics from these two. The pedophile rings will be brought down by Trump, mark my words. Obama is also bi, or really likes hot-dogs.

I sometimes read Breitbart comments to drive myself crazy and they called President Obama pajama boy a lot. Maybe they were implying he is secretly a BJJ enthusiast. This changes everything.

Calling a female fighter attractive has netted me my only probation in ten years. I wish saying someone, male or female, wouldn't throw everyone into such a weird nerd uproar.

Fozzy, I'm just going to preemptively say nobody gives a gently caress what you think on the topic.

You got a week and fatherdog swore at you but you just said attractive. Seems fishy.

Anyway it isn't weird nerd uproar. Dudes got kind of gross about Rousey and Nakai.

Aside from that, the other changes involve rules for how to wrap hands, and they want to clarify that if you lose control of a bodily function, you will lose by TKO.

It certainly would appear that he spent a great deal of his service in the gym/behind a desk. Pretty sure a basic infantry role would ruin someone with his number of injuries. Goodbye knees and back etc.

Super happy that he's still contender material, its not a negative reflection on Bermudez that he went to sleep in round one, TKZ is just still very good.

I don't know anything about Korean mandatory military service but I bet famous athletes get special treatment.

Does their military have an esports team?

Do the free fights that go up on the UFC Youtube page stay there forever or do they get taken down once the event that they were intended to promote has concluded?

They get rotated in and out depending on what they're promoting.
